If the Xilinx EDK Platform Studio included in this kit is to be installed, the user must obtain
a 16-Digit Registration ID. To obtain this 16-Digit Registration, register this software on the
Xilinx Software Registration web site. Locate the product ID on the Software assembly
DVD holder on the ISE WebPACK Product ID sticker. Enter the ISE WebPACK Product ID
on the Xilinx Software registration web site at http://www.xilinx.com/swreg.htm.
As part of this registration process the user will be sent a message by email from Xilinx
containing the 16-Digit Registration ID that will use during the ISE WebPACK installation
steps. After the 16-Digit Registration ID has been received, insert the ISE WebPACK DVD
